WILD CORNWALL – OUT ON THE EDGE

50' (ENG, GER)

Cornwall, notorious for smugglers and pirates who used this uninhabited coastline to evade the law. But this place has never really been uninhabited.

On the far western edge of Europe, a rugged finger of land extends into the Atlantic Ocean. Below the waves, on treacherous cliffs and windswept moors, tenacious animals and plants survive and thrive. Cornwall’s shoreline is continually exposed to winds that blow all the way from the Americas. Storm fronts arrive in dramatic processions battering land and life. Counteracting this violence is the Gulf Stream, bringing summer weather as warm as the Mediterranean.

‘Wild Cornwall’ takes viewers through one year of extremes following the trials of nature in a remarkable, forgotten world, out on the edge.
